programs for youngsters. Ask friends or family members who have had experience with psychiatric treatment;
Consult your child's pediatrician or family physician; Contact your child's school counselor or student assistance plan; Ask your Employee Assistance Program representative; Contact your local Medical Society,
Psychiatric Society, Mental Health Association or county Mental Health Administrator; Look in your Yellow Pages under "Physicians (Psychiatry, Child);" Or you may contact:
